I have a class for rectangle and it has two points in its __slots__ . However, we can derive a number of properties like width, height, centerPoint etc from these two points. Now, I want to be able to set and get these properties directly from the instances. I can either def __setattr__ , __getattr__ or I can define function for each property like setWidth(), setHeight() . Which one would be faster? I would prefer doing through __setattr__, __getattr__ because it makes the code more readable. However, speed is a concern I would have to do these operations in few thousand iterations for about 50-100 rectangles.
